PERFORMANCE: Theater of War

Theater of War is an innovative project that presents professional actors reading scenes from ancient Greek drama about soldiers returning from war. Following the reading, a panel of veterans and community members will offer their personal responses to the play in order to initiate an audience discussion about the psychological, physical, emotional and social challenges facing veterans returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Note: the Theater of War cast will include Evan Parke (Django Unchained, King Kong), in lieu of Keith David.

This event is supported in part by The Marjorie Luke Theatre’s Dreier Family Rent Subsidy Fund.

Sponsored by the Walter H. Capps Center for the Study of Ethics, Religion and Public Life, the Department of Theater and Dance, the IHC’s Hester and Cedric Crowell Endowment, and the IHC series Fallout: In the Aftermath of War.
